Metric and customary measurements are similar in the way that they both are used to measure things. They differ though, in the scale they use and the way that they measure.

Metric and customary systems are both systems of measurement used to quantify physical quantities such as length, weight, and volume. They both have units for common measurements like meters for length and kilograms for weight. However, they differ in the specific units used and their conversion factors.

The metric system uses newtons for basic force unit and kg for the basic mass unit. The U. S. Customary System uses the lb for the basic force unit and slugs for the basic mass unit.

They are systems designed to measure characteristics - mostly physical.
